In Country C, Bai Xiao stayed by Little Rainbow's bedside, holding a fan in her hand and gently fanning. Her delicate brows were furrowed together.
It was already the seventh golden needle acupuncture, and the recent improvements were getting smaller. She worried that the upcoming treatments might not change anything.
"Mommy, it hurts..."
In her sleep, Little Rainbow moved slightly, a murmur drifting out.
Bai Xiao's heart felt like it was wrenched by something, the pain making it difficult to breathe.
Every time during treatment, Bai Youyuan wouldn't let her be present. She asked several times, and Little Rainbow said it didn't hurt. Now, she finally spoke the truth in her dream.
How could inserting each golden needle not hurt? It was because the child was too sensible and didn't tell her.
Li Tianyi stood on tiptoe under the window, whispering, "Auntie, has Little Rainbow woken up?"
Bai Xiao wiped the tears from her eyes, turned around, and smiled, "Not yet, still sleeping."
